This blog is based on Gavin Stones amazing work on gavsto.com. Gavin is a good friend of mine and he helps out our community a lot. As before I worked with his glance cards within IT-Glue that make documentation prettier. When he showed me how he used the Glance cards to create a stack overview…
First I have to make a little comment about the previous weekend; namely I’ve been awarded the Microsoft MVP status last Thursday. It’s still a surreal and bizarre experience really. I’d like to thank all my readers and my friends for supporting me. It’s great to get the acknowledgement that I’m doing the right thing…
Using Dynamic VHDX files isn’t a real big problem in most cases – Especially when you pay a lot of attention to how your storage layer is designed and how you’ll give VM access to that data, but at times with many administrators it can become confusing to monitor if the dynamic disk total does…
As an MSP we manage a lot of clients, and I’m pretty sure we’ve all been in situations where a client had some leavers in the company and not notify us as the administrators, or that the client had some very inactive users that don’t really need to be licensed or could be converted to…
This one was request by a pal of mine that I know via a MSP discord; He wanted a way to document the users in O365 groups and see what type of group it was in one go. To do this, we’re leveraging the Graph API. As in most of my blogs I have a…
This was a request by a friend in one of the peer groups I operate in. He wanted a method to document which mobile devices exist in a O365 tenant and put them into IT-Glue as configurations. I figured I’d help him real quick and blog about it. The IT-Glue version creates configurations of each…
So a while back I helped people documenting their physical servers, the biggest complaint about that blog was that “at a glance” you couldn’t really see what the server did, if it was a cluster member or not, and how the physical layout of the server was. For this, I decided to rewrite that blog…
My holidays are over, and it’s back to blogging! I hope you all enjoyed the previous webinar I did in my holidays. For me it was a lot of fun and I’m doing a more advanced one soon, when I find some time. for now I’m going to be quite busy with other speaking engagements…
Lots of people joined the webinar, It was super cool and hopefully I taught you all something. The recording can be found here. I’m still sorting through the Q&A but gonna get a bite to eat first, feel free to add questions as the Q&A is still open, we have a total of 124 questions right…
This is going to be the last blog for a couple of weeks, as I’m going to be enjoying some vacation time. I’ll be seeing you all soon! 🙂 So Microsoft has announced a while back that legacy authentication is no longer going to be supported, due to COVID we had some extra time to…
This time I’m tackling two blogs in one go again as both are fairly small and straightforward. Monitoring user Experience So I’ve been focussed on a lot of documentation, server, and office365 issues lately and I was kind of ‘forgetting’ to also blog about another key experience indicator users have; their own workstation. Monitoring workstations…
So today we’re tackling two blogs in one again, we’re going to be focussing on two different types of alerting policies. The first getting alerts for M365 or Azure P1/P2 users via the Graph API, these alerts are pretty cool as you can see if users are connecting from tor nodes/VPN nodes, or from stuff…
One of my friends recently told me that DNS forwarders might be a nice subject to talk about,He had an issue with his forwarders not responding and solved that with PowerShell. DNS forwarders are often used to decrease the load on a network and not rely on just root hints. Most of the times I…
At the start of this week I’ve blogged about reading the secure score and documenting it. This is of course just one part of the new beta Secure Score module. The next one is actually the more fun part; applying the correct security settings to a tenant. So first things first; The module is still…
A while back I wrote a blog about the Secure Score and how to increase it. After that blog I got a lot more questions about documenting Secure Score with the Secure Application model. To make handling the Secure Score easier, I’ve decided to make a PowerShell Module for this. The main reason for the…
